my isfj sister is the one person that i know i could count on to be there for me for anything anytime...she's extremely giving of herself and truly wants to help when she can and yeah she's such a good mom. she's always going out of her way to make cute crafty things and making special treats or sewing adorable costumes and i've NEVER seen anyone with more patience. she's a truly beautiful, loving person.
we've been best friends since i was a baby.

There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.

2. ISFJs are faithful and trustworthy. I never have to worry that my ISFJ will cheat on or leave me.

3. ISFJs appreciate those they love. They notice the little things you do, and notice when you don't feel good. They think of thoughtful ways to make you feel better (my ISFJ bought me a movie for us to watch just the other night, because I was bummed out about being on a diet. He said, "See, you can have fun even though you're dieting." So cute).

I especially admire their ability to remember all the details about other people's needs. I had a dear ISFJ friend who had a special ability to choose the right gift for other people.

I've read in some of the ISFJ profiles about their unique brand of wit and humor.

It tends to hurt my heart especially when people say negative things about ISFJs because the one's I've known are gentle people who can really take things to heart. I think ISFJs and INFPs are two of the most gentle types who get often over-looked and under-appreciated. The world would be a sorry place without them.

Step into my metaphysical room of mirrors. Fear of reality creates myopic moralitySo I guess it means there is trouble until the robins come

You make me feel safe. Always
You make me feel cared for.Always
You go out of your way to see that I am comfortable whenever I visit, you even make sure to have things you know I like for snacks or drinks.So true its scary
When I pass out drunk on your floor you put me to bed and cover me up.You can't get cold now, can you
You are so together.Hmmmm
You stop me from acting on my aggressive impulses when we go out to a gig or a bar, knowing that I am way too irrational to notice that the guy I'm about to smack could easily beat me up. But you just laugh and don't make me feel guilty about it.Oh no darling, i have pushed you out the way, and i have smacked him one, that's what friends are for
Infact you do all you can to make sure I don't have another excuse to beat myself up with guilt because you know I do it alll the time.You can have the second round
You are so clean and tidy.Tidy house, tidy mind
You are graceful.That must be an I thing
You have fantastic taste in clothes and interior decorating.Again an I thing
If I could choose my parent I would choose your type because I know I would have had a childhood worth remembering. I hope my children feel the same when they ar all grown up

That's funny. My ISFJ has lots of pub brawl stories (especially from when he was living in London and then Glasgow for a year), and in every case he fought only when his friends were being picked on. They always underestimate his toughness...

I personally enjoy asking him what he'd do about it if an intruder came in the house and tried to hurt me.

Definitely. My mom is one too. I think they set the bar for what a good mom is.

Often a star was waiting for you to notice it. A wave rolled toward you out of the distant past, or as you walked under an open window, a violin yielded itself to your hearing. All this was mission. But could you accomplish it? (Rilke)

lol .. it is funny you should say that. Although i feel i have very masculine qualities about me. If someone was to break into my house whilst i was living with my partnerand my kids were present. I wouldn't expect him to fight. I would be in there first clubbing the hell out of the person. Don't ever hurt the people i care about. I will take a bullet for the one's i care about.
